    Is it just me, or do ATH-M50's creak when you move?

    I get a plastiky creaking noise from mainly the right hand earpiece whenever I move my head or jaw. Bit of shame when I habitually grind my teeth. Makes a CD recording sounds like a dodgy vinyl pressing. If anyone else has this, is it somthing that I can fix, or just live with it (by which I...

    Guidance on mid-range IEM's

    Just a quick post to request guidance. For home listening via my Sonos music streamer, I currently use a pair of Audio-Technica ATH-M50’s which seem to be praised/maligned in equal measure on Head-fi. I have to say I quite like the rather bass heavy presentation (I’m a bass player, so I may be...

    iBasso T4

    Any ideas where I might be able to get one in the UK? The only place I've found that lists it is www.hifiheadphones.co.uk and they show it as "out of stock".   If not,could anyone recommend a similarly priced alternative?

    FM Transmitter

    I’ve been searching through the forums about this, but haven’t found anything yet. Can anyone help or make a suggestion as to where I can look? I’m looking for an FM transmitter for use in my car, so I can plug in my music player and enjoy music on the move. I’ve had a couple in the past. A...

    Post classical "classical" recommendations?

    So I’m after some classical CD’s as my collection is a little thin in this area. I'm not really into early, renaissance or Baroque stuff. I don’t mind classical, but I prefer something a little later from the romantic era. I would like something intense, emotional and moody but given my...

    Fuze has arrived

    Just a quick post to say thanks to the forum for pointing me in the direction of the Sansa Fuze. Re-ripping my best CD's to FLAC, downloading on to the Fuze and playing through my PA2V2 and Ultimate Ears SuperFi3's is currently giving me an aural orgasm right now. Just had Chatham County Line on...

    Slimline tonic for ears.

    After totalling 2 hard disk players in 6 months, I’ve decided to ditch my beloved Creatvie Zens in favour of a flash drive Sansa Fuze. However, as the Fuze is considerably slimmer in size than the ZVM and especially the Touch, I’m concerned that my sweet sounding PA2V2 amp might be less...

    Dumb ass questions about FLAC

    I don't know much about FLAC, apart from the fact it's lossless and therefore as close to the original source CD as possible, but... There is a feature on Media Monkey which allows you to convert files to FLAC and since all my CD's are ripped to WMA at 320kbps, I'd liek to know if I need to...

    Anythings sounds better than a dead ZVM

    So here’s my spec so far. Priority number 1 is sound quality, so to my view, that means Rockboxable, FLAC compatible and line-out equipped to connect to an amp. Not interested in video or games or such, just pure, unadulterated music. As I’ve written off two players already through...

    In praise of Ultimate Ears.

    Last month my right hand earphone on my SuperFi 3’s packed in after they got wet in the gym. The advice from various Headfiers was to return them to UE in California. I contacted then via email to ask about the cost of repair, and a very nice lady asked me when I had bought them. I got them...

    Serves me right for going, really.

    Not sure if this is the right place or not, but here goes. Like a complete fool, I went to the gym the other day and took my MP3 player along as entertainment. I was quite happy listening along to my own music selection through my Ultimate Ears Super Fi 3 Studio IEM’s when the inevitable...

    The Best of J.J. Cale

    I’ve just spent the lunchtime listening to Naturally, the debut album of one of my great musical heroes, J.J. Cale. As “Call Me The Breeze” came on, I thought, “this is my favourite J.J. Cale track ever”. Then “Call the Doctor” started, and I thought ”no, actually THIS is the best one”…until...
